type of drive that would be used on trucks between 150 kW and 1000 kW. In pollution and fuel<br />

economy terms, hybrid technology should be able to deliver two-thirds fuel consumption and<br />

one-third noxious emission levels of IC engined vehicles. This technology would just about maintain<br />

the overall emissions status quo in 10 years overall. If hybrid vehicles were used on battery only<br />

in cities, this would have a major impact on local pollution levels.<br />
